What Does It Mean That Woman is Man's β€œHelper” (Ezer)? Hint: She's not like Hamburger Helper.

Alone. Helper. (Gen 2.18)
Head. Body. (Eph 5:22-23)

Pairing head with helper takes a solution in a story about man/woman and links it with half a marriage metaphor from Ephesians.

Ever heard anyone pair β€œalone” with β€œbody” in casting a biblical vision of male/female? Me, either.

I'm Sorry, and We Need You I was late to Douglas Wilson's interview, but when I did see it...

As a woman from whom a human never came out, I'm grateful for the voice of this pastor speaking out against the false teaching of Doug Wilson. We need more of this from our good brothers.

Church Attendance Gender Gap Shrinks, But It’s Not All Good News - Lifeway Research For decades, women have been more likely to attend church than men. Recently, the gap has been shrinkingβ€”but it’s not necessarily good news.

The recent shift in church attendance patterns in the United States is primarily due to a significant decline in attendance among women, rather than a substantial increase among men.
